It's fall and it's finished!
The Summer Sampler 2016 was a perfect quilt along for me. I first blogged about it here.
I actually finished this quilt about a month ago. My plan was to have it ready for a photo shoot on the perfect fall day during the peak color season. Turns out my #fallcolorsforafallfinish tag was accurate as my quilt became camouflage in sunny scenery.
I sashed my blocks using directions given in Vintage Quilt Revival. (The authors of the book were the hosts of the quilt along.) I added an outside row to make this quilt just a little bit bigger. My quilt finished about 68"x85"
I got a little overwhelmed thinking about how to quilt this. I would have been fun to play with each block individually, but I ultimately decided to meander all over. I really wanted to have a timely finish to share.
I used Quilter's Dream Select cotton batting. This is a winter quilt for sure. It's heavy! I'm not sure if that's because of the shot cotton I used for the background or just that this is a bigger quilt than I usually make. Either way it will be perfect for our camp. I'm keeping this one!
No piecing on the back - I used this 108" wide print by Elizabeth Hartman. There is plenty of piecing on the front!
Happy fall!

I'm repeating a pattern but it's so perfect for a baby, why not? (First quilt is here.) The pattern for this Medallion Baby quilt by Angela Pingel is available in her book, A Quilter's Mixology.
I again used super soft Art Gallery fabrics this time from the Priory Square line by Katy Jones. Shout out to Llama Fabrics for still carrying the few bits I needed to complete this!
For the back these beautiful butterflies by Laura Gunn for were a perfect match - and in my stash! Also, when your name is Quinn and I'm making you a quilt, it gets a special tag!
Keeping it cozy and classic I used Quilter's Dream cotton Select batting and quilted these clam shells with 40 wt Aurifil #2021.
Ready for cuddles!
